On embarkation day, I was so excited that I was up before my alarm. (Anyone who knows me, and my level of sleep deprivation, understands how excited I was.) Once everyone was up and ready, we loaded up the cars to head to the port. It is amazing how much stuff we had.
The weather had been gross during the week leading up to the cruise and it was super foggy on our way out to port. You couldn't even see the ship when we were pulling in to unload and park. The check in process went smoothly and we were one of the first groups allowed to board the ship.
Once on board we got tickets for the Disney Junior Breakfast, Elsa and Anna and the Disney Princess meet and greet. We also made reservations for a couples session at the spa. (This was sold out in pre-booking, so I was super excited they still had availability.) After all that, it was time for lunch and then our rooms were ready.
That evening was the sail away party and E's first chance to dance on the deck. Dancing would be a theme for E this sailing. After the party it was time for dinner and then bedtime for E.
|Bye, Bye FL
|She wasn't real sure about Doc
|Holding tight to Daddy
|She did give Cinderella (her favorite) a hug.
|Finally a little sun!
|Waiting for Aladdin! (Notice the no shoes,
this was a common theme.)
|A boat in the rain
|Getting my tourist on
Day three was Grand Cayman. We didn't get into port until late, so I took a spin class before we left the ship. It was a good time and one of the hardest spin classes I have taken. The sensation of biking on a moving ship is an interesting one. (So thankful I don't have motion sickness issues.)
|Cruising is hard work!
After getting cleaned up, it was time for dinner and then dancing toddler style. The theme was princess night and E was all about wearing her Cinderella dress.
E went to bed and we hung out on our veranda. (The veranda room was really nice because we could sit and chat while E was inside sleeping.)

It's been a month or so since we received the 1st part of Andy Lockery's reflection on the recent Arrowead 135 winter enduro event. If you haven't read part 1 yet check it out here, and then follow that up with part 2, below…
THE COMPETITORS It is worth providing those of you who are not familiar with the Arrowhead 135 with a brief description of some of the competitors in the event. It helps to make the event even more impressive, and also makes it easier for the reader to appreciate the achievements of our ICON during this Ultra distance cold weather event.
1. Jeff Oatley
I first met Jeff at last year's Arrowhead when I served as our ICON's Faithful Manservant for the first time. Jeff had travelled down from Alaska with a group of riders and proceeded to impress right from the start. Jeff, together with his fellow Alaskan, Pete Basinger, who has won the Iditabike 350 mile event at least 5 times to my knowledge, and Dave Pramann, record holder for the fastest ever completion of the Arrowhead, and now race organiser, had distanced the rest of the field by the first checkpoint at 37 miles. Not even bothering to stop for food or drink, they shouted out their race numbers to the official and headed straight back onto the trail. At Mel George's, the halfway point, they did stop for perhaps 30 minutes before heading straight for the finish where they arrived some 17 hours after starting the event. Jeff in first place, Pete in second place and Dave in third place. Word has it that they were attacking one another and sprinting during the final few kilometers, much as one does when out with a group of fellow riders on a Sunday morning cruise. The very thought of trying to sprint on a Fat bike in loose snow boggles the mind! p>This year Jeff returned to defend his title, but this time neither Pete nor Dave were competing. Pete was training for the Iditabike and Dave is now organising the Arrowhead. Jeff had, however, brought his wife Heather with him, who was competing in the women's cycling category. By the first checkpoint at 37 miles once again there were three riders off the front, Jeff, Jason Buffington, and Lance Andre, but this time there were only a few seconds before other riders came through. At the halfway point these three had extended their lead to a few minutes and this year Jeff knew the race route and instead of taking his time at the checkpoint was in and out in a matter of minutes.
This year the third checkpoint, at the Crescent Bar and Grill, stayed open all night. Jeff arrived about 15 minutes ahead of Jason and closer to an hour ahead of Lance. The Crescent Bar and Grill is only about 21 or 22 miles from the finish and Jeff demonstrated awesome power and strength by increasing his lead over Jason to about an hour and finished the event in under 16 hours. It is very important to note that this year the trail was softer than last year and in addition this years race was the coldest in the history of the Arrowhead with night time temperatures hovering around -37F. Both factors making the event slower than if the trail had been hard packed and the temperature closer to – 1 F .
I took the trouble to "Google" Jeff online and discovered that he has competed in many ultra distance cycling events, and that the more extreme the conditions the more he likes it. He is indeed one of the very best ultra distance riders in the world today. However, as I say that, and in keeping with the strict code of accuracy that typifies my writings, I have to tell all of you that in reality Jeff is not even the Best rider in his own family…… his wife is !!!
2. Heather Best
Heather, Jeff's wife, competed in this year's Arrowhead for the first time. I was unaware of who she was when I first noticed her at about 17 miles into the race, where the Arrowhead trail crosses a road. I had never seen anyone spin a Fat bike with such consummate ease, especially not a woman with the build of a super model or a world class triathlete. Not only was she happily spinning the pedals , she was riding in the lead group along side the likes of Jason Buffington, Josh Peterson, Lance Andre, Charlie Farrow, and of course our Icon and looked perfectly at ease.
At the first official checkpoint after 38 miles she was still only 2 minutes or so behind the leaders and was riding in the company of fellow Alaskan Jacques Boutet and our ICON himself. And as anyone in the cosmetics trade will tell you, horses sweat, men perspire, and women glow, and it was obvious that our ICON was riding in Heather's glow! I finally managed to speak with Heather at the Halfway checkpoint after 70 miles of riding [Mel George's] where I could see that here was a woman riding an Ultra Winter endurance event at a speed well within her capabilities, and taking her time at the checkpoint to eat drink and rest before setting off on the next, and toughest, leg of the event comfortably in the top ten overall. It was during the night, between Mel George's and the finish that Heather saw two wolves standing beside the trail. I am quite certain that, for the wolves part, their curiosity had been roused by Heather's glow, which was definitely much closer to Chanel #5 than the usual sweaty gym sock or used Man Diaper odour that characterises the Arrowhead trail during race days. However, make no mistake about it, Heather is an exceptionally talented rider. Last year a friend of hers came down to the race and set a new record for the fastest women finisher. Heather beat that time by almost exactly 6 hours finishing in 8th place overall just behind Lance Andre and Charlie Farrow and almost two hours ahead of our Icon who came in 10th. Anyone who can ride 135 miles in -37F temperatures in a little over 20 hours is undoubtedly worthy of the title 'Best' rider in her family and was, in more ways than one, the "Best" in the race overall !!
3. Jason Buffington
Jason typifies the character and physiology of competitors in this race. In the first instance, "character", there is a level of mutual respect between the competitors that reflects and acknowledges the challenges that each of them will face in a event of this nature that differentiates it from less challenging races. In the second case, "physiology", the competitors tend to be much more robust than one would anticipate from watching events like the Tour de France, or an Ironman triathlon . In the latter two events competitors tend to resemble recently released inmates from a prisoner of war internment camp whilst in the Arrowhead, and like events, competitors have to push a bike and gear up snow covered slopes where the bike weighs close to 50lbs or more. It is no wonder then that someone like Jason Buffington who looks as though he would be at home on a football field , would be perfectly suited to an event like the Arrowhead.
Jason confirmed his abilities with a superb ride. He rode with the the lead group throughout the race and after 113 miles or so at Crescent Bar and Grill he had only conceded 15 minutes to Jeff Oatley, and finished the race in about 17 hours only 1 hour off the pace . Most importantly he brought a rare smile to the face of many would be competitors who had the preconceived notion that they would never be successful bike racers because they were built too tough , and short of amputation, would never achieve a body weight below 180 lbs. Our ICON, just for comparison, who began his career racing on the road, weighed in at a delicate 118 lbs. Now as a seasoned off road adventure racer he weighs in at a porky 134 lbs.
4. Lance Andre
Although I have never had a one on one conversation with Lance, I feel that I know him better than many of the other competitors. Lance is a talented rider, outgoing , and as several of his friends commented, "He is a man who is never afraid to bonk !" For those of you who are not cyclists this term refers to the ability to drive the human body to the point of exhaustion. It is however not an accurate description of Lance and doesn't really do him justice. In Lance's case he is a competitor who fully understands the meaning of the term "Race". "There is one winner and everyone else loses." Lance therefore rides to win , and has no interest in finishing second. He would also never quit a race as long as he was capable of moving forwards. In this year's Arrowhead Lance was riding at or near the front for the first half of the race and even launched a couple of blistering attacks just after the 20 mile mark when he noticed that Jeff Oatley was not right at the front of the race. Jeff had eased up a little to have a chat with Heather , who was a few seconds off the pace. At the half way checkpoint Lance was still with Jeff and Jason but by the time he reached the final check at Crescent Bar and Grill he was off the pace and exhausted and had to take a few hours of sleep to ride the last few miles into the finish, where he placed 6th. Everyone knows that he could have easily finished higher had he not ridden so hard earlier in the race, but that is not how Lance races.
To really understand Lance as a person and as a competitor one has only to read a fascinating article in the March 6th edition of the Alaska Dispatch [www.alaskadispatch.com and type " Iowa Tough Man" into the search box]. This March Lance competed in the Iditabike Invitational , a 350 mile snow bike event, through wilderness trails that makes even the Arrowhead 135 mile event appear to be a little less daunting. Lance had covered about 50 miles on the first day of the race when he took a heavy fall . Only slightly concussed he figured out that he could still ride, despite some aches and pains , so got back on the bike and rode in to the first checkpoint. It was only after a quick nap that he awoke to discover that his left leg had changed colour, and swollen to an impressive size. He was having trouble walking but found that he could still pedal and realised that he was still up with the leading riders, so he got back on his bike and continued the race despite realising that he had broken his left leg. All went well for the next 2 days, the leg was painful but manageable and he had somehow managed to get up and over the mountain ridge at the 250 mile point.
Just over the top on a descent called the Glacier he fell for a second time. The fall re-broke the leg bone and shattered his right arm. He knew the arm was broken because it had a 10 degree bend in it where arms don't have 10 degree bends. There were two alternatives …. wait on the mountain top to be rescued and hope the rescuers arrived before Lance froze to death, or keep riding. Naturally Lance kept riding since he could no longer walk. Bill Shand, a Canadian who lives and works in the USA had caught up to Lance and rode with Lance the 50 miles to the final checkpoint. Lance didn't tell Bill that he had a broken leg and arm, and when he managed to reach the final checkpoint he decided that he might as well finish the race … which is exactly what he did! He and Bill tied for 8th place out of the 50 racers!
The article in the Dispatch ends with a comment from Lance in his hospital bed in Iowa, where he tells the reporter that the Doctors are trying to assess whether to pin the bones before putting his leg in a cast, and also that they were going to have to rebreak the arm to align the bones properly before also placing it in a cast. What the article did not say, but I am certain must have occurred, was what Lance said to the doctors in response….. " Do what you have to do Doc, just so long as I can ride home for supper after you've finished !
5. Charlie Farrow Charlie has to be one of the most charismatic riders in the event. I first met Charlie at the Red -Ass 300 mile gravel road bike race which was held in Manitoba about 4 years ago. He rode to a very creditable second place in the event behind Blair Saunders, a Manitoban who lives and works in voluntary exile on the Eastern seaboard of the USA. The first indication that suggested that Charlie was not your common garden bike racer occurred at about 7am the morning after the race when I observed a huddled form wrapped in an old duvet ,asleep on a sun lounger .
My wife, Val, and I were getting some beer out of the fridge in preparation for the arrival of the bulk of the finishers who were still out on the course. Charlie had finished about 5 hours ago and was clearly in need of nourishment. A hand shot out from under the duvet with the speed of a Cobra in heat. The beer bottle that had been in my hand vanished under the covers, only to re-emerge empty, some minutes later to the sound of a satisfied burp and some loud purring noises. I have since got to know Charlie a great deal better through both the Arrowhead and his unique blog site. He is the self proclaimed best looking male in the human race, a man who has an encyclopedic knowledge of Arctic and Antarctic exploration, and an erudite educator of youth who expects the highest standards of achievement, from both himself, and from those that he teaches [ Death before Dishonour is his motto].
In addition he has, to his great despair, lost his status as the Alpha male in the Farrow family to his dog Loki. He refers to himself now as Loki's Faithful Manservant, whereas, in truth, the British Naval term of "General Dogsbody" is far more appropriate. Definition….. "Dogsbody" A person assigned to perform menial tasks, a drudge, such as picking up Loki's excrement. Charlie has always performed heroically in The Arrrowhead 135 , always comfortably in the top ten and with a best finish of 2nd overall. Perhaps my favourite characteristic is that when Charlie is around, there is never a dull moment…. he is a true leader of men.
6.Dave Gray
Dave is the man who engineered the design of the Surly Pugsley. A bike that has revolutionized snow and sand cycle racing. Dave is also an accomplished racer and past winner of the Arrowhead 135. New racers are strongly advised to read Dave's reports on his races as his meticulous attention to detail, and the care he takes preparing for the event, always ensure that he is ready for whatever might happen out on the trail. Dave usually rides slightly faster than our ICON, but this year our ICON finished ahead of Dave by about 30 minutes as a result of Dave spending more time at the checkpoints. All of us owe Dave a great big thank you for turning the idea of a snow bike into a functional reality, and in doing so, creating rapid growth in winter bike racing. Thanks to Dave we can describe winter snow biking as " fun" rather than "frustrating".
7. Josh Peterson
Josh is a very talented racer who I first met at the Mel George halfway checkpoint during the 2010 Arrowhead 135. Josh had cruised in to the checkpoint just a few minutes behind the leading trio of racers and had then proceeded to regale fellow competitors, volunteers and spectators alike with lively conversation for about 14 hours before some hidden urge persuaded him to return to the race. I don't know whether his friends had teased him about the length of his stay at Mel George's last year, but this year Josh was in and out of the checkpoint in short order and rode strongly to finish in 4th place, confirming his talent as one of the top winter bike racers in the field. Josh is the exact opposite of Lance. Lance rides to win , and Josh rides for the enjoyment that the race provides, whether he finishes 4th or 40th is not important.
8. Charlie Tri
Like Josh, Charlie is one of the strongest riders in the race, but for two years in a row now he has not been able to finish the race. Charlie suffers from Cold weather induced Asthma. He has confirmed his talents as an ultra distance off road bike racer in many events, but has yet to demonstrate his full talents in the Arrowhead. It says a great deal for Charlie's strength of character that he continues to train and race these winter events , knowing full well that if the air is unusually cold, or low in humidity, all of the time and effort he has put in to training and race preparation could be for nought.
My last chat with Charlie, in the finish line reception room, was very encouraging. He had chatted with another racer who was wearing a special mask that offset the asthmatic effect of the cold air and was going to see if it would solve his own problems.
9. Chuck Lindner
This brief survey of some of the competitors in the Arrowhead would not be complete without including Chuck, and the many racers that face the same challenges as he does whilst training and preparing for the Arrowhead Race. Chuck is from Warroad Minnesota , where he runs a demanding business. In addition he has a young family that naturally expect his care and attention. Despite these commitments I have watched Chuck ride and finish in two Arrowhead 135's. In 2010 Chuck rode a strong race and finished not too far behind our ICON who rides 125kms a day as part of his "work" as a full time bike courier, has retired from his business, and has no young children placing demands upon his time. All he has to put up with is his snivelling faithful manservant . I mention these contrasts because in 2011 Chuck rode the Arrowhead but was clearly not in the best of form.
At the first checkpoint he told me that he was really suffering and just didn't have the legs, as cyclists say when they are not on form. Despite this Chuck continued to race and finished the event despite taking many hours longer than would normally be the case. Again , what is important is to recognise the strength of character that all of the competitors in this event exhibit, no matter how well or how badly things go for them.
10. Jeremy Kershaw
This year, 2011, Jeremy competed as a runner in order to achieve the exalted status of having completed the Arrowhead in all three of the disciplines of Cycling, Running, and Skiing. I always considered Jeremy to be a top cyclist in the event , and it was only when I watched him run this year and looked at his skiing result that I realised that I was in the presence of an athletic deity! The 1st year that Jeremy skied the event he finished first! p>This year when he ran the event he finished second. There is not a doubt in my mind that our ICON has noted Jeremy's performance and will be determined to achieve the exalted rank of a three discipline finisher at some point in the future.
11. Mike Stattelman
Lindsay and I met Mike at the finish just as we were about to leave the hotel for our journey back to Canada. Mike was the only skier in this years event to make it as far as the Crescent Bar and Grill , some 21 miles from the finish. He dropped out there as he wasn't sure that he could finish inside the time limit of 60 hours. Mike has finished the Arrowhead on skis in past events ,and it was as a result of our giving Mike a ride back to the start in International Falls, to collect his car, that we gained some insight into this least popular discipline in the race. And "Why?", you ask should this be the least popular method of completing the Arrowhead? The answer is simple: Just try and ski for 135 miles on snow that has never seen a groomed ski trail, that has absolutely no glide at -37F, whilst pulling a sleigh with 40 lbs of equipment and food.
Several times on the 85 mile drive back to International Falls Mike fell asleep in the middle of answering our questions about the challenges of trying to ski this event. Despite Mike's honesty and accurate description of the challenges he faced, I could see from the look on his face that our ICON was clearly plotting a timetable whereby he could complete the Arrowhead in all three disciplines before he turns 90!
PART 3 THE RETURN OF THE ICON AND FRIENDS…To Follow!

You need to include more context in your questions, they are very ambiguous as is. Are you trying to look up a connection factory in the geronimo server or a standalone non-javaee client? If a standalone non-javaee client, the instructions I know about are here: http://activemq.apache.org/jndi-support.html If you have more questions about non-javaee client jndi you will get better answers on the activemq user list. If your client is running inside geronimo I would advise you to set up a connection factlory by deploying the activemq rar in the admin console, look in the geronimo log as it is starting to find the jndi name it is bound under, and use that. david jencks On Jan 23, 2009, at 3:37 AM, axiez wrote: > > How can I set queueConnectionFactory in jndi.properties file?

Blowing bubbles vs Blowing "IT"
One day, I will blow bubbles instead of "it". Blowing bubbles are magical. They have multiple colors reflecting within them. They can float lightly through the air. They put many smiles on babies faces and can change the mood of someone in the vicinity of them. The are however very fragile and can break with the lightest touch, but they are a mood enhancer. So while don't I just blow bubbles...I forget I guess. When the emotions take control we forget what we are doing and our normalcy and reasonable self are lost in the emotions and the emotions take over. As we make some choices in this state, there is a very quiet voice in the back saying..." stop", but it's so soft that it goes unheard and un-followed. Without following this great advice, we begin to start blowing "it". I am a complete pro at this. I can't explain it. My friends are always saying it's not you it's just all the guys you fall for. I am here to tell all my friends that it's not them. It is me. I can play it cool for a little, but as soon as there is any little emotion I let the ugliness take over me and I start feel terrible about myself and then start acting ridiculous. I actually recently just acted stupid to a guy I really like, The Perfect Daddy, and no wonder he won't talk to me through any means of communication. (Side note though...I posted on facebook one time that we get rejected by so many avenues now and it makes it harder-not quoted, but close-and he was the ONLY one who said "Hi"...Ironic, huh) I guess it just hurt a little the first blow off. Look blowing "it" causes blow "offs". They go hand in hand. To tell you the honest truth. I look at myself when I do these silly things and I think omg I am a total turnoff. I see it. I know it...hello he's gonna see it too. I know that I really didn't have a chance anyway, but I would rather go out as a respected individual then the way I did as a nut case...Please don't order my straight jacket though. I think that before I text, email, facebook, or any means of communication with someone I like (especially if I am starting the conversation) I will go box or workout, because I notice that my insecurities are smothered and I feel better and don't feel as compelled to make silly choices. To The Perfect Daddy...I am sorry. I am not crazy. Actually, he doesn't even know who he is..LOL, but I do. And I believe in apologizing when you make a mistake...however I have made this mistake over and over and over again. So maybe I just need to date like 3-4 guys at once and be pulled in so many directions I can't get hooked on one. Well I am going to the store tomorrow to by some bubbles...with each pop I will forgive myself for my past blowing "its" and then move on and try to DO IT and NOT BLOW "IT".

Fans of razor clams will have three opportunities to dig this month, including the first dates with morning low tides. The first dig of the month begins Monday.
"We're announcing these dates so people can make plans for digging in March," said Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. "The proposed digs include an opening for the Ocean Shores Razor Clam Festival."
The razor clam festival is scheduled for March 20-22. The event includes cooking competitions and tastings of clam chowder and seafood entrees, an auction of decorated clam tubes and shovels, and vendor booths. The digs set for the final two days of the event will take place on morning low tides.
The three digs slated for next month are the continuation of what has been a successful and popular season so far. The first dig of the 2014-15 season took place in early October.
"Digging has been great," Ayres said. "Even though by the end of March we will have offered 86 days of digging on both Long Beach and Twin Harbors, and a lesser number at Copalis and Mocrocks, we are still seeing a lot of interest."
He said the Feb. 15 dig attracted more than 13,000 people to the coast, even though just Long Beach and Twin Harbors were open.
"That is the largest crowd we've recorded so far this season," Ayres said.
The state still has enough clams under the quota system set with treaty tribes to offer digs in April and May.
"We should be able to announce those dates sometime soon. I expect we will likely dig until sometime in mid-May," Ayres said.
Diggers are reminded they are required to keep the first 15 clams they dig. Each digger's clams must be kept in a separate container.
All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable 2014-2015 fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach. Licenses, ranging from a three-day razor clam license to an annual combination fishing license, are available at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov and from license vendors around the state.

The Falcione Family
It is with great pleasure that we write this letter for Kris Feldman. As our buyer's agent, Kris proved to be an invaluable asset in our search for a new home in the Bethesda area. With her help, we focused our search only on homes that met our criteria and didn't waste time running around to houses not of interest to us.
We were always informed promptly and reliably of any new listings. And Kris was quick to point out potential problems with listed houses that we would otherwise have missed. Her clear analysis of listed houses was an important factor in our search.
Once we found the house we liked, Kris guided us through the contract and price negotiations. We always felt that she was on our side, providing us with the support and insight that was critical in a competitive real estate market.

Have you heard of ad clicking jobs or paid to click jobs?
As the name suggests, ad clicking is a way to earn money online by simply clicking website advertisements.
This is a legit way to earn.
Granted there are some ad clicking jobs that turned out to be a scam, there are still several that will pay you to click an ad.
How exactly does it work?
We all know of popular TV commercials, right? We see them every time we watch our favorite programs on our favorite channels. These commercials are a way for brands to promote their products by making you, the viewer to be conscious of it. These brands hope that when you go to the supermarket you'll remember to buy their product so they will earn.
The Internet is also a medium like the TV only there are thousands of channels (webpages) to choose from. So how can brands get in touch with the consumers now? Through website ads, of course.
As an ad clicker, your job is to be the bridge between the brand and the advertising company (the one who created the ads for the brand). As an ad clicker, you would need to click then watch the ad for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Some may ask you to promote or share the ad and/or complete other tasks.
How do I earn?
Earnings from this job comes as a commission from the advertising companies. Most will give $0.01 per advertisement clicked.
This may seem small, but if you are patient and you have enough time in your hands, you can grow your money with a few sites.
To start earning, visit legit ad clicking sites. Review the list of recommended ad clicking / paid to click sites and judge for yourself which of them suit your time and what you are willing to do.
As soon as you have chosen, register and wait for their instructions. As soon as you become a registered member, click away!
What to expect?
This is seriously an easy job compared to other online jobs out there. However, it can be draining at some point.
Remember those times when you change channels because of endless commercials? It can feel that way, only this time it's your job. Also, for most ad clicking jobs, you can only click one ad to play. If you try to play another one on a different tab or browser, it may not be credited to you.
How do I get paid?
Most companies pay through PayPal and other similar sites. Be sure to check about their minimum cash out policy, if any.
Although you may be as hard working as the next person, most ad clicking sites have a limit of a certain number of clicks daily.
If you think you can handle more than the limit in one company, then maybe you can register for a different ad clicking site so you can work on more ads within a day.
You may also check their Premium subscriptions. Paid to click sites offer more ads to click and other features if you go premium.
How else can I earn more?
Yes, you can earn more. Ad clickers actually can actually earn more via a referral program.
Every time you successfully invite someone to work as an ad clicker, ask them to credit you properly so you can get a commission or a reward. Some companies may give reward for the referral while others may even give as much as 160% commission from the earnings of the person you referred.
A paid to click job is one of the easiest way to earn money online as long as you are patient and diligent. However, I wouldn't really consider this as something that would cover all your expenses.

A Weekend in Paducah
If you're following me on any of my social media you know that I went on a road trip this weekend with my Mom and Mamaw to Paducah, Kentucky! Paducah is best known for being the quilting capital for quilters all over the United States. The trip was filled with laughter, shopping, sightseeing and some more shopping!
I will honestly admit that I am a huge Harry Potter nerd! In fact the only time that I was ever grounded was when my mom grounded me from reading my Harry Potter books (I had them memorized, and kept rereading all of them) per my Mom her reasoning by taking them away from me is that she really wanted me to broaden my horizons literary wise but my love for the Wizarding World never faltered.
A Night in Disney Springs
The most exciting change on Disney property right now is Disney Springs. Disney has magically transformed Downtown Disney into a Floridian Disney Springs with brand new restaurants, high end shopping and a new obsession for Sprinkles Cupcakes! I managed to spend an evening in Disney Springs with a very busy itinerary and I'm sharing all the details.
Gilmore Girls Viewing Party
My absolute favorite show is Gilmore Girls. I have watched the entire series at least once a year since it ended in 2007. (Guilty!) Naturally I was beyond excited when the revival was announced and now that it's coming up this month I decided to share my Gilmore Girls viewing party with you.
A Day in the Life of Katie
My daily schedule just about varies from day to day. People all the time ask what my schedule is like, and their eyes go REALLY big when I start listing the different possibilities and everything that I do in a given day. At least three days a week are pretty much the same and I thought I would share with you one of those, a day in the life of Katie.

More than 3,000 miles away from Orlando, Florida, where a nightclub shooting claimed 49 lives, gay bar owners here in Southern California are being urged to take precautions in the event of a similar attack.
Since the mass shooting on June 12 at Pulse, a popular Orlando gay club, members of the law enforcement community have been visiting gay bars and nightclubs in the San Fernando Valley, West Hollywood and Silver Lake to advise management on how to protect patrons during a potential terrorist attack.
• RELATED STORY: West Hollywood gay club, The Abbey, steps up security after Orlando massacre
"We're actually meeting with each of the establishments as best we can and taking a look at their floor plans, taking a look at their exits and working with them to come up with a plan should something like Orlando happen here," said Capt. Holly Perez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's West Hollywood Station.
Perez joined representatives from the city of West Hollywood, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Sheriff's Department criminal intelligence bureau Thursday for a meeting with West Hollywood bar owners and managerial staff.
"Before Orlando, a lot of (club owners) never even thought about — other than for a fire or something like that — having an evacuation plan or a hide-in-place plan," she said.
Thursday's meeting was the second in less than two weeks to address security concerns.
• RELATED STORY: Gay Muslims 'caught in the crossfire of identities' in wake of deadly Orlando shooting
On June 28, owners and managers of more than two dozen gay bars and bathhouses were also briefed by Perez and Cmdr. Blake Chow of the Los Angeles Police Department's West Bureau. The businesses that took part included Oil Can Harry's in Studio City, The Bullet Bar in North Hollywood, The Abbey and Micky's in West Hollywood, as well as Eagle LA and Faultline in the Silver Lake area.
"It was important to understand the atmosphere of the world we're living in after Orlando and understand how law enforcement is working and how they can assist local gay bar owners," said Faultline co-owner Ruby Nuno, who bought the bar less than three months ago.
"The takeaway message was: Don't wait. If you see anything suspicious, anything out of the ordinary, please pick up the phone, give (law enforcement) a call and let them do their job," Nuno said. "It's better to make that call ahead of time than think back in retrospect and say, 'Oh, I thought that was out of the ordinary.'"
• RELATED PHOTOS: LA PRIDE Parade rolls on despite mass shooting in Orlando
Charlie Matula, co-owner of Eagle LA, says the bloodshed at Pulse left him "very concerned" about the possibility of a terrorist attack. "We take it very seriously," he explained.
Eagle LA already had procedures in place to protect patrons before the Orlando massacre, he said. Now they are taking even more precautions. "Where people enter the bar, we set up barricades and columns to follow the line of people in and out. We check everyone's ID's, we check bags."
He said the recent briefing offered an opportunity to review security plans. "Everyone, no matter what systems you have in place, you always have room for improvement," he added.
Those who attended the June 28 meeting were given a 26-page safety guide that was prepared by the New York Police Department and distributed to law enforcement agencies around the country. Called "Best Practices for Nightlife Establishments," the guide includes a section on counterterrorism strategies. The document warns: "Islamic extremists view nightlife establishments as 'dens of depravity,' which represent Western decadence and immorality. Patrons of these businesses are viewed as sinful and deserving violent punishment."
Perez of the Sheriff's Department said federal officials are working on a thorough examination of the attack at Pulse, which may yield more insights into how to respond to an assault.
"I think one of the things they'll probably look at very strongly is the layout of the bar and the exits," she said. "The guy (Omar Mateen) had time to reload and things like that so if (investigators) are able to reconstruct the situation, it would be interesting to see how people reacted and why did the people who survived survive."
Despite the push to increase security, Perez said there is no current indication of a specific threat to local gay bars or clubs.
"I'm confident. I would never ever say 100 percent confident, but I'm pretty confident," she said. "We're safe at this time."

Major Crisis Relief Fund of The Cape Cod Times Needy Fund
Major Crisis Relief Fund
In the wake of the potential devastation caused by a major natural, man-made, or terrorist disaster, many Cape Cod residents will find themselves in need of financial and other types of assistance. The Cape Cod Times Needy Fund's Major Crisis Relief Fund was established with the intention of helping our community members in the aftermath of such a disaster. The goal of the fund is to establish resources and partnerships prior to a disaster that will then be directly available to address the needs of individuals and families which are unmet by traditional forms of disaster aid.
The Major Crisis Relief Fund was established in 2016 by the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund, a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, to fill existing service gaps in private and public funding for crises, particularly in terms of long-term recovery assistance. While the Needy Fund provides urgent financial assistance throughout the year to individuals and families residing on the Cape and Islands who are experiencing temporary financial hardship, it could not meet a dramatic increase in unmet needs following a disaster such as Hurricane Sandy. In the past few weeks Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have caused heartbreaking devastation. The recent natural disaster on September 8, 2017 in Mexico was a magnitude 8.1 earthquake. The MCRF was created to provide humanitarian aid on the Cape and Islands during major crises.
Guest speakers September 28
Kathey Fulham Parcels, CPA recently sold her Certified Public Accounting practice that was in the Village of Osterville for 26 years. She is on the Advisory Committee of Major Crisis Relief Fund and the Advisory Committee for the Cape Symphony and Conservatory. She was a member of the Rotary Club of Osterville.

The Cape Cod Fisheries Trust was established to ensure that the Cape's local, smaller-scale fishing businesses continued to be profitable and sustainable.
It came about when a group of fishermen got together with the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen's Alliance to figure out how to cope with some of the unforeseen consequences that happened when the management of scallop and groundfish moved into catch share systems.
In collaboration with the Community Development Partnership, the Trust delivers a suite of economic development initiatives to support our fleet. In all that we do, we promote good business practices and support the Cape's next generation of fishermen.

You've dialed Off the Record, the inner workings of IGN Xbox. This is the ongoing and unofficial place to learn what's going on behind the scenes of the videogame industry, specifically for the Xbox. When we learn it, we tell you here. Check back each Friday to find out what else has happened in this fast-paced, ever-changing industry.
In the last few weeks, Mr. Agossip, our new snoop here at IGN Xbox, has gleaned the watercoolers of America looking for good, clean rumors to offer you. These two stories should whet your whistle quite well.
Mercenary Strike
The game you know and love called Mercenaries was not always a LucasArts game. It was once something quite different. Three sources have helped piece together this little story for you, and two of them have died to provide this crucial news. First, Mercenaries was at one time an EA game. And second, it was, at one time, going to be the next iteration in the publisher's long-running, but recently absent, Strike series.
Can you see it? Mercenaries as a Strike game? Totally. This short re-telling of the story goes back a few years. About two years ago, EA contracted Pandemic to make a Strike game, and in the process of about 10 months, it went from being a helicopter game to a third-person action game, back to a helicopter game again, and so forth. EA basically couldn't make up its mind, causing some frustration on both sides. When it came time to signing a contract with EA, however, Pandemic decided not to move forward, forseeing trouble, or at the very least, EA's heavy indecision. So, Pandemic gave its assets to EA, and the two parted ways. Pandemic, however, went back to the concepts it felt were strong, wrote new code, fleshed out its own ideas, and created something quite interesting indeed. The team created something it liked, the Mercenaries you see today. Now, for all you EA haters, that's gotta make you happy.
Halo 3 In Production
Yes, we have news about Halo 3. IGN learned last week while drinking secretly imported beers with its informants that Microsoft is prepared for the battle of its life in this upcoming console war. From what we understand, Bungie is hard at work on, not so surprisingly, Halo 3, which will be ready day and date with the launch of PlayStation 3.
So, while Bungie said it's working on something else, well, we have different news. Sure, the smart creative guys at Bungie are working on something else, but you had better bet your bottom dollar they're also working on the next Halo. The release of Halo 3 at the precise launch of PS3 is a pure, military tactical move, similar to the PS2's greatest lineup ever launching simultaneously with the launch of the Xbox and GameCube. It's designed to counter Sony's upcoming launch with the best weapon Earth has on its side, Master Chief. Go, John 117, go! Save Earth from Sony!
That's it for today. But look for our Off the Record to appear each Friday on IGNXbox. Do you have a rumor, a story, or an insightful piece of information for us? Do it. Email us at Off the Record.

How Do U Make Lisks: The Affluence Network – The future is Now
We would like to thank you for visiting us in looking for "How Do U Make Lisks" online. Lots of people prefer to use a money deflation, notably those who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal privacy, for example, is great for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you're living paycheck to paycheck, it'd take place as part of your riches, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could grow dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. You have probably noticed this often where you usually distribute the nice word about crypto. "It's not unpredictable? What goes on if the price failures? " So far, many POS devices offers free transformation of fiat, improving some concern, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people is likely to be unwilling to put on any. We have to discover a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies offering long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately joins in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the appropriate place at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these companies decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it fixed. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centralized business. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to understand how the process functions in and of itself, but it's essentially vital that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can just choose to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.

Security and seclusion can easily be attained by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines.

Since among the oldest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it truly is a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you might be needed fill in a captcha after a particular time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a reasonable investment strategy. If you are looking for How Do U Make Lisks, look no further than TAN.
How Do U Make Lisks: TAN: Don't Leave Your Wallet Without It
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a higher potential for solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you're considering going it alone, it really is worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a steady stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the reward. The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: due to the character of the method where it is transacted. All deals on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short-term where your web visitors can dispute or desire a concessions, or employ unethical sleight of hand.

'Truth in Myth' Solo Exhibition, SF.

"Mythology tells the stories of gods, heroes, humans and supernatural beings as the personification of natural phenomena and more importantly the human condition. In traditional folklore, a myth tells a story that is designed to explain certain ideals, practices and behaviors within society. Following from his interest in superheroes and comic book narratives, Meggs delves deeper into the subject of fantasy to explore characters and stories from older mythological tales through the morals, dualities and emotions that these superhuman characters represent.
Fusing elements of contemporary superheroes to ancient mythological beings, "Truth in Myth" is a collection of new paintings, collage, sculpture and mixed media artworks that expressively reference classic renaissance composition and contemporary pop culture. The layered and detailed works of "Truth in Myth" serve as a continuation of the artist's search for balance in the understanding of physical and ideological duality of self."

Volunteers are the lifeblood of most charities. We love our volunteers for the precious time, and skills they give to us, and we enjoy seeing how much they get back in return.
Volunteering with E4E is fun, rewarding and it's a chance to learn new skills, enjoy the fresh air and stay fit. As a volunteer, you'll be an important part of our team. We need volunteers with great people skills to regularly help in our equine programs, and on a more casual basis we want people who enjoy working outdoors; gardening, DIY, building, or fencing, or can help out with admin tasks. Volunteers working with clients will have police background checks done.
Do I need to volunteer for specific hours?It depends on the role. Roles with our equine programs do require a regular commitment, other roles are much more flexible.
Will I get to ride the horses?
No. Our horses are reserved for our clients. We look for volunteers who are interested in working with horses, who want to give back to their community, and want to work with, and assist those with disabilities to have enjoyable, enriching, and successful experiences.
What sort of volunteer roles are there in your Equestrian programs?
- Grooms - catch horses in the paddocks, and prepare them for the clients
- Horse Leaders - these people lead the horse for the coach. They must listen to the coach, and either keep the horse still, or walking at the speed required (and in the direction required).
- Side-walkers - many of our clients need support to stay in the saddle. A side-walker, literally walks beside the horse, and provides either physical or emotional support to the rider. Some clients require 2 side walkers, others just 1.
- Arena helpers, and general hands - keeping the place clean and tidy, assisting with equipment, checking helmets and riding clothing
We do occasionally look for new coaching staff, and always look for people who have volunteered with us first.
Do I need to work with horses?
No, we do have other roles.
What other roles are there?
- Gardener
- Maintaining of Horse pastures, fences and equipment
- Handy person
- Professional skills to enhance our Board team such as: fundraising, publicity, volunteer management, organising events
If you enjoy getting out in the fresh air, while doing good in your community, we have a role for you.
Do you run volunteer events?
Yes, we do sometimes run 'working bees', and we have an annual "Ribbon Day' (a public competition day for our clients), that needs additional volunteers.
Why do some roles have age limits?
Some roles may involve being able to work alone, until the coach arrives. Others need a certain level of strength, and concentration.
Does your volunteer program participate Duke of Edinburgh Service Awards?
Yes, we do.
What our Volunteers say
"I learn to care for the horses, and groundwork. I enjoy watching how far the kids come, from being scared of horses to riding, and being upset when they leave them. Every kid is different and it's fun to get to know their personalities." - Ava
"I love it. I really enjoy the way the volunteers, and coaches work together with the people coming for lessons. The methods used help to empower, and build trust, and relationships. It is always great seeing the confidence, and skills grow each week" - Jan
"Its a very friendly environment, the volunteers and riders are a pleasure to be around. The horses all have great personalities, and I've loved being able to learn new skills with them. Each rider is different, with a challenge, but it is awesome to see how far they have come." - Casey

Looking up North Street from Fourth Street. The substantial house on the corner of Fourth and North Streets was originally owned by James Russ.
Photo: Historical Society of Dauphin County
The Keeley Institute opened in 1892 in the Russ mansion on the corner of Fourth and North Streets. The mansion, rumored to cost upwards of $30,000, was constructed by James Russ after he purchased the property from the Herr estate. Soon after construction, the property was leased to a group of men wanting to open an institute for the treatment of those addicted to liquor and drugs. It moved for a short period to another location in Harrisburg before re-opening in the Russ mansion in 1901.
After the Keeley Institute removed from this location for the last time, it was used as a boarding house before being purchased by the state to be used as government offices.
During the absence of the Keeley Institute, the mansion was used by the Sisters of Mercy to treat typhoid victims from Camp Meade during the Spanish American War.
(Summarized from an article written by J. Howard Wert for the Harrisburg Patriot newspaper on May 12, 1913, and reprinted in Harrisburg's Old Eighth Ward, edited by Michael Barton and Jessica Dorman, (Charleston: Arcadia, 2002), 114-117.)

SOURCE: Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc.
April 06, 2017 16:05 ET
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA--(Marketwired - April 06, 2017) - Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: UEPS) (JSE: NT1) ("Net1" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of directors has determined to split the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles in recognition of the growing practice of U.S. public companies, as well as the customary practice of South African public companies, to have the Chairman be an independent director. The Board has come to believe that separating the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the appropriate corporate governance model for the Company at this time, especially given its secondary listing on the JSE and its significant South African institutional shareholder base.
As a result of the foregoing determination, the Company has appointed Mr. Christopher S. Seabrooke as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Serge C.P. Belamant has resigned as chairman but will remain a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr Seabrooke has been a director of Net1 since 2005, and chairs its Audit Committee, as well as its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Mr. Seabrooke holds degrees in Economics and Accounting from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal and an MBA degree from the University of the Witwatersrand. He is a highly experienced director, having been chairman or a director of over 25 stock exchange quoted companies over the past 30 years. He is currently CEO of Sabvest Limited, a JSE listed investment group, and also holds other non-executive directorships. He is a member of the Institute of Directors in South Africa.
In addition, the Board is actively seeking to appoint additional independent directors. The Board expects that at least one director will be a person designated by the International Finance Corporation, pursuant to the Company's agreement with the IFC and affiliated funds. The Board has been conducting a search over the past few months and believes it will shortly be in a position to send formal invitations to its preferred candidates. At such time as additional directors are appointed, the Board will review the composition and chairmanship of all Board committees.
The Board also intends to review the relevant parts of the Company's ongoing business strategy and management structure as soon as the outcome of its proposed investments in Blue Label Telecoms Limited, Cell-C (Pty) Limited and DNI-4PL Contracts (Pty) Ltd (as announced on March 1, 2017) are known.
Further to the advice in its Board Statement of March 16, 2017, the Company has appointed Burson-Marsteller as its media relations agency to manage all of the Company's external communications. For the time being, no statements will be made, or interviews given by any Company or Cash Paymaster Services (Pty) Ltd officials and only statements and releases on behalf of the Board will be issued.
